I use this all the time. Even with the top fully packed to the rim. Worth the money and they do the job just fine. 5 ft away (while speaking at a low conversational volume). So the 11 is to long. If I press the headphones against my head I can hear the full range of audio. Easy to assemble, nice storage Again, the headset does deserve credit where it is due: it is a great headset when it is working properly. I use an ipad on zoom for 10+ hours per day for work. Crossbar look great and fit my 2020 Chevy Tahoe well.
